Control Your Tyco RC Car With Your Smartphone!

Introduction: Control Your Tyco RC Car With Your Smartphone!

After one or two years that I follow all your projects, I decided to start to publish my own. To begin with I want to show a simple modification that I made some time ago on a RC car, making it controllable from a smartphone (Android).

The application I created with MIT App Inventor 2 and both it and the sketch are really simple to do!

P.s. Sorry for my english .. I know that is not the best! (I'm Italian☺ )

Step 5: ​Update 2.0

I later improved the machine, replacing Arduino Uno with Arduino Pro Mini, so it takes up less space and is all the more ordered (the schematic is the same!)

To do this, I created a basic floor made of wood, which I pasted on the machine. Once you have made your plan, we can position the components as we like!

Using hot glue go fix bluetooth, arduino, the battery and the PCB to adjust the voltage to 5 volts (the schematic is present in the photos)

Now you just need to connect the two batteries, one for the power of the electronic part (Arduino, bluetooth and ralay) and one for the motor supply, and connect your machine with your phone (using the application Carbot RC Bluetooth Arduino)
